Hi Paul,
Looking over your comments, I must
admit I am a little confused as to what could be causing the problem.
If you can invoke aquaterm complete with functioning graphics, the
only difference that I can guess could exist is a difference in shell
paths. The runprog program with its attendant shell variable
changes seems to work fine. The AppleScript program is pretty
minimalist, so the only viable explanation I can think of is somehow
the shell environment getting corrupted. As the AppleScript that
invokes artemis works fine here (and apparently elsewhere as well), a
possible cause is the difference in startup initialization at the
shell script level.
if you need my .cshrc file, here it is below, maybe you can guess if
something is wrong:
bindkey -k up history-search-backward
bindkey -k down history-search-forward
if (! $?DISPLAY) then
setenv DISPLAY :0.0
endif

Bruce, Matt, what do you think
about this? If a shell is started by AppleScript, it would be a
non-interactive shell, whereas if it is started manually via X11 and
the default shell is bash, the startup initialization file ~/.bashrc
would be read in.
my default shell is tcsh
If it were invoked via the AppleScript
program, it would not. Sounds like something is screwy with the
PATH environment variable. Of course, this implies that it is
something unique to Stefano's system and not general (never mind the
fact that the user can switch shells -- I am using bash on one system
and tcsh on another!).
let me know which configuration file I should look at
If a path was set incorrectly (e.g.
affecting a perl library or otherwise), could this cause the symptoms
that Stefano is seeing? I might add that I notice the default path for
feff6 is "feff6" so this would seem to implicitly assume
that feff6 is on the users path (and it obviously isn't in this case,
although it is for me). One fix would be to hardwire all
of the paths needed into the runprog shells script by appending to the
PATH variable (e.g. the location of artemis is wired). Any
suggestions?
will see what Matt and Bruce have to say
Stefano
